AMP, cynical readers won’t be surprised to learn, claims it has other plans for the space this year. It said in a totally believable statement to the ABC:

“In previous years, the space on our upper floors has been used by the City of Sydney as a control point for the New Year’s Eve show. The ABC camera installation was part of that.

“We informed City of Sydney last year that AMP would be using the space for the next two years before we move to a new headquarters. Therefore, the arrangement wrapped up after last New Year’s Eve.

“Similarly, this is why we declined the ABC request.”

Or, as Barry put it last night: “What a coincidence.”

Imagine if AMP was as good at not fraudulently charging people for advice they didn’t receive, as it was on taking petty revenge on journalism organisations. It’s share price might not be at its lowest point in 15 years.
